Abstract
A catheter insertion device is provided that comprises an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis. The elongate member is configured to be disposed on a catheter in one of a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration and the second configuration are different. The catheter insertion device is further configured to allow the elongate member to be selectively and repeatedly reconfigured between the first configuration and the second configuration while disposed on the catheter.
Claims20
A catheter insertion device comprising:
- an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis, wherein the elongate member is configured to be disposed on a catheter in one of a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are different, and the device is further configured to allow the elongate member to be selectively and repeatedly reconfigured between the first configuration and the second configuration while at least partially disposed on the catheter.
A medical kit comprising:
- a catheter configured for insertion within a hemostasis valve;
- and
- a catheter insertion device comprising an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis, wherein the elongate member is configured to be disposed on the catheter to allow insertion of the catheter through the hemostasis valve, wherein the catheter insertion device is configured to be selectively disposed on the catheter in one of a first configuration and a second configuration, the device further configured to allow the elongate member to be repeatedly reconfigured between the first configuration and the second configuration while at least partially disposed on the catheter.
A catheter insertion device comprising:
- an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis;
- means for disposing the elongate member on a catheter in a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are different, and for allowing the elongate member to be selectively and repeatedly reconfigured between the first configuration and the second configuration;
- and
- means for releasably locking the elongate member in at least one of the first configuration and the second configuration.
